Dunno about Florida, but I prefer to travel South (usually Malta) in late September or early October. The air and the water are still warm (28-33°C/21-23°C), but the nights are cool, so you can get some fucking sleep and the lampuki (mahi-mahi) season has just started. But most importantly, the tourist season is over, so a) the flights are much cheaper and so is everything else, b) you can actually move around the island(s) without running to some obnoxious Brit or Kraut every 100 meters.Any of the above - or a variations thereof - might apply to Florida?

bul, I'm pretty sure that the Floridian tourist season is in the winter.

DC is quite pleasant in September. Florida might be nicer, but you do have to worry about hurricanes. I'm pretty sure that this is the worst time for them.

Most people in America save their thousand mile trip for winter, when you can go from "bundled up in a winter coat" to "swimming in the ocean." Yeah, the other tourists may suck, but it's Florida. Florida's only native wildlife is the tourist.

but you do have to worry about hurricanes.Oh yeah, totally forgot about those.So, alternative theory: did you check for a 'conference' or something similar organized by insurance companies or any other corporate pimp Megan has shilled for in the past, is shilling for now or might consider shilling for in the future?

Bulbul,It would be about 85 degrees F or so in that part of Florida, with the same level of humidity, and very, very unpleasant. Most people vacation in Florida in the winter to get away from cold weather.

McMegan is awful, just awful, but at least she's no longer employed by The Atlantic. Still, no one can read her every day and live, so we've all but given up trying. Let's just be glad her upwards failure has leveled off.Posts here will likely remain few and far between, as will my tweets. M. is still at his place and twitter and now also Whiskey Fire, and Clem maintains well deserved alumnus privileges.
